Adopt Louisiana dogs – we need your help!
Today, I was riding my bike back from the dentist and saw a dog limping in the grass. I thought it had been hit by a car and so I called T to come with the car and a leash and we took her into our vet. She’s a three year old Shepherd and she’s scared but sweet. She seems to have some sort of issue with one of her back legs or back and our vet said everything the dog needs would be about $500 and perhaps one of the shelters could take her and do the work for cheaper. So we brought her back home and started calling shelters around New Orleans. Everyone one of them is overwhelmed and won’t take her.
So on Loca’s birthday, she didn’t get her long walk through the park, instead she got a rescue dog in her yard. We’re going to take her into the vet and get her work done and look for a foster home for her. If you want this Shepherd – ping me!
Then I got an email from the neighborhood list serve that a lab had delivered a bunch of puppies that were brought to a shelter today. Folks – we need help – adopt a New Orleans dog and bring it home with you as part of your Katrina guilt – do something – it’s raining dogs.
While writing this two friends called saying they just rescued an emaciated dog who needs help and did I have any luck with the shelter today – OMG!
I was semi-joking with friends on Saturday that the problem with lesbians is they want to take care of cats, dogs, babies – the world – and there is nothing to stop them! T now wants to win the lottery so we can buy land and build a huge animal shelter to take all these dogs and cats.
